If this is posted in the wrong area, please let me know... I am about to build and design a personal website and would like to incorporate FTP so that future clients would be able to send larger files. Does anyone know where I would look to learn how to build FTP access into the site?

Do you have hosting already? Many hosts have a control panel that let you set up multiple ftp accounts. Then you could set up an account for clients to use at your digression.

I have yet to choose a host, but that's definitely something to look at. Thanks! Also, would I be able to set up that ftp account within my website?

I am not sure what you mean by 'within my website' What functionality are you trying to achieve?

oh, so i would like an ftp page within my website that clients could go to and upload their files to me, does that clear it up?

You would need a server side scripting technology to do this. I haven't looked at this script, but it was the first result when searching for web ftp script: http://www.vclcomponents.com/CGI_PER..._FTP-info.html Kevin
